[VIRTUAL] Dissecting the Role of Genetic Factors on Clinical Variation in Depression (WCPG 2021)
While there was substantial genetic overlap between the sexes in MDD, SZ, and BD, in the largest GxS study of mood and psychotic disorders to date, significant sex-dependent effects were enriched for genes related to neuronal development, immune and vascular functions across and within MDD, SZ, and BD at the variant, gene, and pathway levels. These analyses will contribute to the understanding of sex-influenced brain mechanisms underlying disease risk through further omics research.
